Sanctuary Committee

The Beth El Sanctuary Committee supports immigrants to our country.

The most widely repeated commandment by far in the Torah is the requirement that we support immigrants and refugees. To this end, Sanctuary Committee activities include: collecting clothing, driving our neighbors to school and appointments, distributing food, and collecting funds; standing out with others at ICE offices, and working to change government policy and oppose ICE/DHS.

We have worked together with a number of organizations in these efforts:

• Casa (Metrowest Worker Center)
• JALSA (Jewish Alliance for Law and Social Action)
• LUCE (Immigrant Justice Network of Mass.)
• T’ruah (The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights)
• Bearing witness (sponsor of standouts at the Burlington ICE office)

We encourage everyone to join us in these activities!
